The NRA Has SCRUBBED Ted Nugent Videos From Its Website

The NRA has taken down previous footage of Ted Nugent off its website and YouTube channel, first brought to attention by the left-leaning Media Matters for America. It comes amid the rocker Nugent's nonsensical and controversial statements, which led to a Secret Service investigation and a meeting with the agency today.

A spokesman, Brian Leary, said by phone that the agency recognizes an individual's right to freedom of speech but that the agency has "a responsibility to determine and investigate intent."

"We are aware of it, and we are conducting an appropriate follow-up," Leary said.

Leary said the agency had no comment if the Secret Service was involved at all in the NRA's taking down of the videos.

Here's a screenshot of the video that was originally posted by NRAVideos, the organization's official YouTube channel.

Nugent said yesterday on conservative radio show host Glenn Beck's show that he was meeting with the Secret Service today.

"We actually have heard from the Secret Service, and they have a duty, and I salute them. I support them and I'm looking forward to our meeting tomorrow," said Nugent, described as a "Rock Star/Gun Enthusiast" in the chryon of Beck's show.

The blog item on the NRA's website reports how he sent the convention out "in style" and that he spoke about "how great and important it is to exercise our right to bear arms."
